Q 204: Ni mgawanyo gani wa Bid'ah katika Ibada?
Q 204: What are the divisions of Innovations in Acts of worship?
A--- Kuna migawanyiko miwili:
A--- There are two divisions:
Kwanza: Kuchukua njia za ibada tofauti na zile alizoziweka Allah Mtukufu. Kwa mfano, Masufi wajinga hutumia ala za muziki sambamba na kucheza, kupiga makofi na kuimba, kwa kufanana na wale ambao kuhusu wao Allah Mtukufu anasema: {Na Swala yao kwenye Nyumba (ya Allah, yaani Ka'bah huko Makka) haikuwa chochote ila kupiga miluzi na kupiga makofi}. (Al-Anfal, 35)
First: Adopting methods of worship other than those prescribed by Allah the Almighty. For instance, the ignorant Sufis use musical instruments accompanied with dance, clapping, and singing resembling those in whose regard Allah the Almighty says: {Their Salat (prayer) at the House (of Allah, i.e. the Ka'bah at Mecca) was nothing but whistling and clapping of hands). (Al-Anfal, 35)
